With our need for casualized gameplay, Easy and Hard mode was one of the first things added to our lists of importance. Krona's own twist to the design/implementation of the system, this Easy and Hard mode gameplay will help new players jump into the action faster, and give the older players a bit more of a challenge when doing the dungeons!

Upon entering a dungeon, the party leader will dictate whether or not they're entering the easy or the hard instance.

Party members will not be able to enter the dungeon until the party leader has decided the difficulty.

Drops are different for both difficulties, as are monster HP, attack and various other aspects of the dungeons.

Easy/Hard mode has been added to these dungeons:

Onima, Faymarsh, Colosseum and Goldflower.

Welcome, Easy/Hard mode, we've been awaiting you!

Server Casualization

Krona's Complete Casualization

In this update, we make several needed changes to make our game here on Krona more casual. That means less time spent doing the grindy stuff, and more time spent doing the things you enjoy. We understand people's busy schedules, and we want to be able to accommodate to all aspects of players.

Beginner Dungeon Changes (Level 1 to Level 150)

We've added all green sets to the Level Up Reward boxes until level 105. They will no longer drop from monsters.

We've decreased the health for all regular monsters in every dungeon from level 75 to 150.

We've decreased the attack from all mid-bosses/bosses in every dungeon from level 75 to 150.

Fire Breathe has been completely removed from both Red Meteonyker and the Flame King Meteonyker.

All attacks that cause stun have been completely removed from the Mushmoot and Kururung bosses in Contaminated.

A modification to the Traesia spawns have been made in this update.

End-Game Dungeon Changes (Level 175)

We've adjusted the amount of health for all monsters in every 175 dungeon.

The amount of guaranteed loot has been adjusted for the Faymarsh Peak dungeon.

The amount of entries for Faymarsh Peak has been changed from 4 entries to 2 entries.

All bosses of Goldflower Temple (excluding the final boss) now drop individual loot, not group loot.

Colosseum loot has been adjusted and the final boss will now drop Shreds of Power.

Colosseum now has 10 daily entries, to help players get their Powerbinds and Shreds of Power.
